Most of the Southeastern Conference powers ignored him, perhaps because his statistics weren’t glittering or maybe because he was rated a three-star recruit. It is now nine weeks into the college football season in the Big Ten, yet a couple of programs still have quarterback issues.

For the Ohio State Buckeyes , one simple quarterback adjustment could change everything, just like what happened for the Indiana Hoosiers . Josh Hoover has been holding back the Indiana Hoosiers for multiple reasons over the last few weeks.
